Ubuntu Basics Honestech VHS to DVD 3.0
Honestech VHS to DVD 3.0 device for analog video/audio capture does not have any Linux drivers and does not work with Ubuntu. If you dual boot Windows with Ubuntu you can use this device from within Windows, then later boot Ubuntu and edit the video. I have not been successful operating the device from an instance of Windows being run via virtualization from within Ubuntu. Honestech customer service is pretty good. Naturally, I did try running all sorts of drivers, alas, to no avail. To be sure, as every year passes, there is less and less need for analog video drivers. However, an analog video camera is rock steady and does not exhibit that funny-looking "wiggliness" characteristic of digital cameras. In that one sense, analog is superior to digital. If you know of and can recommend such a device that works well with Ubuntu, I would certainly like to hear about the item.
